  • Has the premium weight but not much beyond that

    This is a hefty controller that definitely feels premium at first touch. Don't let the weight fool you, though, as it's still the same mediocre controller underneath and will suffer from the same points of failure as any other xbox controller. Definitely not worth the price.

    It’s very very expensive. With that said it’s a nice quality build with a lot of mod features. It’s a great controller for COD and other FPSs. It is and improvement on the Elite 1 series.

    This is the best Xbox controller I have used in a long time, worth the cost if you desire the additional back paddle buttons and other customizations that this offers.
